  • low iman

    low iman is something every Muslim has tasted, or will at some point in their life. What does it feel like and where does it come from? In this episode, I explore the emotion and experience behind the concept of low iman, and how it ties back to a lack of understanding of an essential pillar of Islamic knowledge... who Allah even is.

  • critical thinking

    you've no doubt at some point heard these words in school - 'critical thinking'. To some, it's triggering, but in the adult world, it's actually kind of sort of a teensy bit how you say... crucial. But what is it? What can it do for you, and how do you use it to shape the life that you want?

  • be good to people

    you see people every day... I hope. How do you treat those people? What do you think of them? What would you do if they mistreated you? The idea of showing goodness to others for nothing in return has been misconstrued to mean that someone is weak in their character and is not able to stand up for themselves. But it does the very opposite, it shows strength and firmness in a person's character to respond with goodness.

  • your 'best self' is when you find Allah

    a 'best self' or the 'best version of yourself' is a thing that has recently been marketed ubiquitously on social media. They tell you to hit the gym, drink your green smoothies, journal and that's that. But what if there's more? What if there's another side to the story that no one ever told you about?

  • confidence 101

    confidence baby- but not like you know it. Our society loves talking about the outside appearance of confidence, forgetting the inner work it takes to reach true self-confidence. I also discuss the idea of 'internal confidence' as well as 'external confidence' and how the two complete each other in every step of our lives.

  • a brief introduction to islam

    What is this religion to which nearly 2 billion people dedicate their lives? Why is it so extremist and oppressive? In this episode, I introduce Islam through its fundamental source—the Quran. One can understand the religion simply by looking at the first page.

  • the power of dua

    Imagine having access to all the money in the world, but all your life you've been withdrawing mere pennies. Muslims have access to Allah. To ask Allah, converse with Allah, plead Allah, but we forsake this special gift we've been given.

  • unfriend them

    When are you gonna tell that person you don't want around anymore that you don't want them around anymore? Do you wait? Tell them? Pray for a miracle they'll disappear? It's as simple as telling them 'I don't find value in this anymore, but thank you for everything'. So why do we complicate it? But more importantly, why is it important for us to take that uncomfortable step for better change?

  • palestine

    Why is this happening to our people? Why do they have to endure a literal gen0cide? Muslims must know, this is all happening by the will of Allah. In fact, nothing happens without the will of Allah. We feel scared, guilty, and angry, but we forget to turn to Allah in the midst of these circumstances, The All-Knowing, The All-Wise, The Best of Planners. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, but only by Allah's decree.

  • my hijab story

    Every Muslim girl has to face the hijab at some point in her life. I talk about my story with the hijab and the way I viewed it in different parts of my life. I used to look at it as something keeping me from living my life, to something I could not imagine living my life without. This episode is for every Muslim girl and her hijab.
